So I'll have to admit that I really didn't get a whole lot done this week in terms of being creative and artsy. I managed to get the promo email out and that's a good thing. But it makes me think that I should go and upload some of the new paintings (there are so many I feel like I've been out of commission forever) because I'm using a lot of the same for my promos. There are some new ones I did want to use, but the constant contact site said were too big and I have no idea how to reformat them. owell. But there are 2 things that I need to think about this email marketing thing:
1.) My newsletter says I should be just as annoying as a Cabelas catalog. And send out emails a lot! I use Cabelas as a reference because I get catalogs from them practically every week (and they yet to carry decent hunting boots and hip boots in female sizes). But I'm not sure that I have enough news for a newsletter every 2 weeks or twice a month But that brings me to my next point....
2.) I went out to dinner with a friend of mine on Friday and we drove by my paintbox and I said "See! There's my u. box that I got to paint!" and she was looking at me like I had 2 heads. She had already said that she got the email, so I explained it to her and then said, "it was all in the email I sent." and then she said, "Oh well, I really didn't read it.... just looked at the pictures." So am I saying too much in my emails??? Maybe I should just cut it down to 1 annoucement per email? One painting per email? Now she's a head of marketing department in her firm so I do take what she says about marketing to heart. I'm just an artist. And she agrees that they should be sent more often.....
With that said, Watch out. I'm going to start haunting your email boxes :)
